So much can happen in a week

When I started this blog I just thought it would be about my life with K. All our crazy adventures. That's still true but I guess its mostly going to be about the craziest adventure we will ever have.

Last Monday night after a few days of suspicion I took a pregnancy test. I thought maybe I was pregnant on Saturday the 17th (the day I started the blog) but I took a test and it was negative. I guess that was just a little too early. The test on Monday was positive. I took a digital test on Tuesday to confirm and it was there plain as day "Pregnant."


I cried like a baby. Maybe a better term is I cried like a hormone crazed pregnant chick. That just seems too long though. I find myself crying over everything. I also have no energy. I 'knew' when we started trying to get pregnant that I would be full of hormones and I would be tired, nauseous, bloated and sore. A woman knows all of this. In theory. The reality is so different. At least for me it is. I had no idea quite how tired I would be. I have no energy to do anything. I have no appetite either but if I don't eat then I feel nauseous and want to throw up. In fact just a few minutes ago I had to stop writing and get crackers so I wouldn't puke.

This is all so new and exciting and I am willing to go through all of this for my baby. I didn't think I could love something so obscure so quickly. I will be devastated if anything were to happen to this little appleseed in me. I pray daily that this little seed sticks around and grows like a trooper. I went to the doctor and they confirmed the pregnancy but we have not done bloodwork or any type of exams yet. My EDD is March 22, 2011. I would love this baby to be born on 3/17/11. It will be the three year mark of me moving to Utah. It's also St. Patricks day and since I'm Irish I think I would get a kick out of that.
